1. As a Michigan resident, I thought it was the best ad.

4. I can't get this on DU - is he adocating for a DEM? I did hear Elizabeth Warren's name...

he was NOT an Obama fan earlier. Has he changed his tune?

9. Officially it is a Chrysler commercial

But it could just as easily been an Obama 2012 commercial, no?

I think Eastwood is one of those rare creatures one would call a "moderate Republican". From what I hear he's always been socially liberal, at least on some counts like human rights for all. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn he is supporting Obama this time around.

Since I posted that last night I did see the commercial; awesome (for a commercial)!

I just ran across this:

Halftime in America


Chrysler "courted controversy and won kudos for a two-minute Super Bowl advertisement that was less a car sales pitch than a political message in a presidential election year," Reuters reports.

"Rugged Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood proclaimed it was 'Halftime in America' in the spot that did not mention a Chrysler car or truck but intoned that the automaker's successful turnaround could be used as an example for the United States as it struggles with high unemployment and a slow economic growth rate."

5. Best Super Bowl ad I've ever seen!

6. Great follow up to last year's Chrysler ad

"Imported from America". By far the best ad of the night.

Go Detroit!

[Ecumenist]

7. Was this a double entendre? Sounds like he's talking about more than just Detroit...Sounds like he

is talking about the second half Obama's administration. I'm just sayin'.

10. Isn't that awesome!

I really enjoyed that part of it. Well, along with all the other parts, being from the Motor City and all.
